GarFla, about this time of year in 1968 I was doing the afternoon drive show on 56/WHBQ, Memphis. I was reading a live commercial with my earphones on "air monitor" one afternoon when it was time to flip to our nighttime DA. Imagine how less-than-powerful I felt as I suddenly heard a WQAM jingle in my earphones!

Hmmm..I listened to WHBQ from time to time in the 60s. Wonder who hosted afternoons in 68?;D

Harry Chapman did the 3-6pm show from the beginning of 1968 until late May or early June that year. Then kudzooter (a/k/a Scott Segraves) took the elongated 3-7pm show.

Thanks. I have a friend that lived in Memphis in 68, I'll have to see if he has any airchecks.i

Harry Chapman, who eventually became news anchor at Noon for WLAC (later WTVF) in Nashville for several decades. WHBQ has an interesting signal. I've never heard it though.

Never heard it here in Chicago as we have WIND on 560. However, WHBQ puts a decent signal into parts of the deep south as I've heard it well at night in New Orleans.

I don't suppose Dusty Morgan is still sitting beside you getting ready for news,
but is he still extremely prone to suggestion? ;D

I've always heard it as, "Dogs have masters; cats have staff."

Oldies Fan 6479, had a brief contact with LaMont LeFozh's identical twin recently. Says he's retired so no longer sitting beside anyone but hinted that his proneness is still full-tilt. Yee-hawww.

I asked WHBQ cohort Jack Parnell about this, since it was nothing I remembered. His reply: "As far as I know that is NOT true. If so, it happened before the 1960s. When he left WHBQ, he went into the real estate business, lived about a mile from us, and was still in real estate when he died."

I've been monitoring 1450 AM at night here in Vermilion, OH and on 2-22-12 around 7:30 pm EST I could just make out a station playing Rhianna's 'We Found Love' (could hear the part of the song where the pitch of the techno sounding song slowly goes up) and then a few minutes later could make out Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' (the ahhohahhohahh ahhohhahhohhah part stood out). Last night (2-24-12) could hear a female sportscaster giving NBA scores very faintly in the background around 8:00pm EST. Semi-local WLEC/Sandusky, OH was still noticable but these stations were underneath it. Very curious to know which stations these were. This was all from car radio.

During the early morning hours just before sunrise, I once heard WVAX 1450 from Charlottesville about 90 miles away here in Manassas, VA. WKDV 1460's transmitter area is about 3 miles away from me with 5 kW days and night.
